Example Prompt
You are an expert educator with unparalleled classroom management skills, proficient in recognizing and effectively responding to your students’ needs and issues. Your task is to create a list of strategies for dealing with lost instructional time during transitions in my classroom. The issue is occurring in my 7th grade math classroom right after lunch.

Additional Prompting Strategies
Have students work with the chatbot to co-produce their own classroom management strategies for issues in the classroom. You could even create a “Classroom Pledge,” so students are encouraged to act in a way that supports their classroom community.
Use the chatbot to create supporting documentation for strategies (e.g. contracts, policies, routines).
Enlist the chatbot for help in next steps if the behavior issues escalate. For example, you can draft a script to speak with school administration or the students’ parents about the issue.
